Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between coaching and tutoring?
Tutoring focuses on teaching specific academic content — like math, writing, or test prep. It’s about helping you learn material for a class or exam. Coaching, on the other hand, is about building the skills behind the scenes that help you manage life, learning, and work. We focus on things like time management, organization, motivation, task planning, and navigating overwhelm. It’s not about teaching you a subject — it’s about helping you figure out how to tackle your to-do list, manage your stress, and follow through on your goals.
Do you accept insurance?
At this time, coaching services are not covered by insurance.
How do you work with families?
While coaching sessions are private and client-led, I recognize that families often play an important role in a person’s growth. With the client’s consent, I’m happy to collaborate with families through check-ins, updates, or joint conversations when needed. It’s always about supporting the client’s goals while fostering trust and autonomy. At the end of each month, a summary of progress drafted with the client will be shared with the family.
What does a coaching session look like?
Each coaching session is shaped by your current needs and goals. Some days we’ll work through a specific challenge or decision, other times we’ll focus on building new habits and systems. The pace and focus are always personalized to keep you moving forward in a way that works for you.
What if I need support between sessions?
I get it — life doesn’t always wait for our scheduled time together. You’re always welcome to reach out if you’re stuck or need a quick boost of accountability. I encourage clients to email or text with small wins, roadblocks, or questions. I’ll do my best to respond as quickly as I can.
How do I get started?
It’s easy — and no, you don’t need to have everything figured out before you reach out. Whether you’re looking for support for yourself or your child, start by booking a free consultation. We’ll have a casual, judgment-free conversation about what’s going on, what you (or your child) would like to work on, and how coaching might help. From there, you can decide if you’d like to move forward.
